Kitty Pryde & Riff Raff - Orion's Belt

Internet sensation Kitty Pryde links with none other than Riff Raff. A union that was bound to happen, one might say, as the latter has been a digital phenomenon in his own right for quite a while. Co-signing Riff Raff’s power as the “Most Viral Human Being in Music,” Gawker did a feature on the former Riff Raff From G’s to Gents graduate and asked him about Ms. Pryde.

Recently, Gawker ran a long profile of the rapper Riff Raff – an internet icon who is somewhat of a pioneer of this modern music space, a music/meme hybrid lane also occupied by newcomers like Kitty Pryde. From the profile:

In early May, I DMed Riff Raff about Kitty Pryde, who mentioned him on her song “Justin Bieber.” I included a link to her video for “Okay Cupid,” which had caused “a minor internet starburst” that morning.

“What’s her Twitter?” he wrote back. “See if she wants to do a song/video.”

A week later, he was on a plane to Daytona Beach to shoot the video for the song they’d recorded that weekend. He’d arranged for Vice to pay for it.

The rest is pretty much history as you can see above.

Sidenote: Riff Raff has found himself in a heated Twitter exchange with his former SODMG affiliate Soulja Boy. Read for yourself below.
